SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 673,686, dated. May 7,1901.

Application filed August 26, 1899- Serial No- 728,6 86- \NO -J To a,whom, at may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON J. LEVY, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTrousers-Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which This invention relates to animprovement in trousers-hangers; and it consists in the construction,arrangement, and combination hereinafter described.

The invention is designed for use in connec-. tion with creasedtrousers, and is intended for application in such a manner as topreserve the crease and hold the trousers in a proper position and shapewhen suspended from a Pressing the trousers and using clamps on thelower parts of the legs is one method now adopted; but the inconvenienceand trouble incident to this method are obvious and generallyrecognized. My invention is designed to avoid such objections.

In the drawings I have shown in Figure 1 the invention applied, in Fig.2 the hangerseparated from the trousers, and in Fig. 3 a front elevationof a pair of trousers with the or peg.

In the drawings, A designates a pair of creased trousers, the creasebeing designated at a, which, as is usual, extends from or in line withthe first Suspender-buttons B in front on opposite sides of the openingb of the trousers.

O designates the hanger, which is conveniently in the form of a chain,the length of equal to the distance between the two buttons B, as shownin Fig. 3. This hanger strip or chain has at opposite ends suitableattaching devices, which, as shown, are formed with enlarged circularportions 61 and narrow portions (1 of a well-known construction, thebuttons being passed through the large portion 01 and the shank orsecuring threads drawn into the reduced portions. This form ofattachment renders the same removable, so that the hanger can be readilyapplied and removed from the trousers. Anydesirable form of device canbe'employed for detachably securing the hanger-strip to pass over thehead of the buttons.

In use the ends of the hanger-strip are 'secured to the buttons, and asthe buttons B are in line with the creases a the draw or weight issuspended in line with or along the creases, allowing the trousers to beproperly folded along the lines of creases, and thereby preserving theshape and crease.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is I l. A hanger for trousers, consisting in ashort flexible strip having at each end loops formed with keyhole-slotstherein, adapted to be fitted over and secured to a button, sub-'stantially as described.

2. A trousers-hanger consisting of a flexible strip of a length toextend from one suspenderbutton in front to the adjacent button on theopposite side of the front opening of the trousers, and having fixedlysecured to the opposite ends attaching devices having enlarged portionsto fit over the buttons and narrow portions to engage under thebuttons,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SIMON J. LEVY.
